"Bailout flag": Fans react to Shedeur Sanders' first Colorado TD with his watch flex celebration against Baylor

Colorado Buffaloes QB Shedeur Sanders is in the midst of his final collegiate campaign before going pro. And so far during the Buffs' Big 12 reunion campaign, the QB has managed to lead the team to a 2-1 record.

For Week 4, the Buffs are in a competitive showdown against the Baylor Bears. After the Bears scored first, Shedeur Sanders showcased his rushing game on the gridiron while scoring a 2-yard TD in the first quarter to give Colorado the lead.

Following his touchdown, Coach Prime's QB son celebrated by doing his iconic 'watch flex' on the endzone. Fans took to social media to share their perspective and react to Shedeur's celebration and touchdown against the Baylor Bears.

This fan had an interesting take on the QB's touchdown. They were likely referring to the pass-interference penalty that led to the TD.

"Bailout flag"

One fan believed that if Deion Sanders' QB son puts more dedication to the game of football, then he could go on to become a star during his professional NFL career.

"Shedeur is the boy, but if he put more focus on Football he could be a serious draft pick."

Another fan heaped praise on Shedeur's skills with the ball and as a college quarterback.

"Generational talent"

This fan stated that the touchdown by Shedeur was an inevitable one.

"THIS was going to happen. @BUFootball has that punt return and those hard a** jerseys going for them and that's it!"

Another fan talked about how Shedeur Sanders is more fit to play as a running back.

"A running back doing running back things. I have no clue why yall have him playing QB. It takes intelligence to play QB."

This fan stated that the QB made the rushing TD look like a piece of cake.

"Made it look easy."

At the end of the first half, the Bears are leading by seven points (17-24). They scored three touchdowns in the second quarter of the game putting Coach Prime's team in the backseat by 14 points.

However, Shedeur Sanders' 58-yard TD pass to Omarion Miller with a few seconds left in the half helped the Buffs minimize the deficit to seven points. Now it will be interesting to see if the Buffs can make a comeback in the second half of the game.
